On the 07/23/03 tonga run, the tonga tests for bug4483137 & bug4431858 failed.

From the logs, it looks like the failure is tied too an issue with
the cluster protocol:


[24/Jul/2003:03:44:10 PDT] ERROR [B3099]: Received invalid address advertisement from a broker. Real address = /127.0.0.1, advertised address = mqlx2/127.0.0.1:7778 (brokerB). Dropping the cluster connection.

This error prevents the cluster from getting connected

Attaching the logs

N/A

This is a well-known Linux installation issue. The redhat installer always
adds an entry in the /etc/hosts file that maps the hostname to the loopback
interface address (127.0.0.1).

This has been documented as a "known bug" in the J2SE 1.4.2 release notes :

   http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/relnotes.html

Please see BugID 4665037 for more details.

Bottomline : There is nothing we can do about this in the MQ broker code.
Customers must do one of the two things -

1. If they are using static IP address, they must change the /etc/hosts file
so that the hostname resolves to the correct IP address.

2. If they are using DHCP, they should configure their /etc/nsswitch.conf
to use dns before /etc/hosts file. (hosts: dns files)

I am closing this bug as "not a bug" and setting hook2 to RN.
Also - I am filing a separate doc bug to ensure that this issue
gets documented in the admin guide..
